Exactly. It's the exact same thing in the science department, as someone said that old theories die off and new ones are adopted when the old scientists die off as well. I think Max Planck said that. So imagine when it comes to religion and race and whatnot. We mostly live to justify our own worldview...and conspiracy stories become an easy way to understand complex events. Conspiraciea do exist but most of the time our views of them are very shallow. I have been reading on geopolitics for over 20 years. I started reading about HAARP, the Illuminati, chemtrails etc. when I was just 19 and I still can't really understand it all.
And being paid to post stuff on boards. Man that would be quite the easy job...truth is people get paranoid and think everyone else is a shill only because of what you said above.

In the mid 1980's I was asked by an american legal institution known as the Christic Legal Institute to compile a comic book that would detail the murky history of the C.I.A., from the end of the second world war, to the present day. Covering such things as the heroin smuggling during the Vietnam war, the cocaine smuggling during the war in Central America, the Kennedy assasination and other highlights.
What I learned during the frankly horrifying research that I had to slog through in order to accomplish this, was that yes, there is a conspiracy, in fact there are a great number of conspiracies that are all tripping each other up. And all of those conspiracies are run by paranoid fantasists, and ham fisted clowns. If you are on a list targeted by the C.I.A., you really have nothing to worry about. If however you have a name similar to someone on a list targeted by the C.I.A., then you are dead?
The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening.
Nobody is in control.
The world is rudderless...”
-Alan Moore
There are for sure conspiracies but I agree with you that our perception of them is very limited. Conspiracy culture is largely a means for people to put order on an otherwise chaotic universe. There are agendas and there are people in power that need to be exposed but ultimately people fall for a scapegoat- almost always Jews- just like the powerful pushed the Protocols in the past, to keep our eyes off them.
